====Law Enforcement====
Law Enforcement (Civil Protection) is carried out by the Military Police branch of the [[Confederate States Armed Forces]].
{{main|Civil Protection}}
 
=====Overview=====
Civil Protection is carried out by the Military Police due to long standing traditions within the Confederacy. It has long been believed that a military-based police force, obligated more to the defense of the People rather than the government itself, would better ease tensions within the nation as a whole. It was also believed that with military-grade training that a more professional and capable civil servant would be created who could abide by all laws provided. Statistics have shown that in 99.9% of incidents where the Military Police have been involved, there were no outstanding issues to do with the policemen themselves. This has further enforced the idea that a professional standing and obligation to the people has helped ensure that the Military Police keep the peace rather than be forced to enforce it through harsh measures.
 
=====Civil Unrest=====
During times of civil unrest, such as mass protests or general rebellion, the Military Police ensures that first and foremost the People are protected from all harm. According to the laws of the Confederacy, the People have all rights to protests publicly and privately any and all grievances to their government and/or relevant conditions. Normal procedure for unscheduled protests is to have a unit standby and protect private property while maintaining a distance from the protest in question. Should the protest get out of hand or become violent in any nature, it is the right of the MP to defend the people from harm and harming themselves. In such conditions the MP's will border off the protests and attempt to quell the violence in a diplomatic and peaceful manner. Should that fail, non-lethal force will be used to hamper any violence in the protests.
 
If a rebellion of any sort occurs in any city, county, state or region within the Confederacy the Military Police has the right to ensure that the people involved in the rebellion do not wish bodily harm upon their fellow man. If such a case is true, they will use aggressive non-lethal force to quell such rebellion. If lethal force is used against the MP during these times and no armored protection is capable of defending the MP or if a MP is injured, lethal force will be authorized under the law of "Protecting the Nation". Once said rebellion is quelled or calmed to a more proper diplomatic fashion, a council will be formed between the government and the People to address the issues that initiated the rebellion. The Military Police is required by law to moderate and oversee the meeting between the two parties and ensure that the People benefit the most from the outcome, so long as said outcome does not dissolve the Confederacy in any manner.
 
=====Normal Procedures=====
The normal Operating Conditions of the Military Police is to provide comfort and aid to all citizens, both foreign and domestic, within the Confederacy. They are obligated to respond to calls concerning possible violations of set law within a city, county, state and/or region. Professionalism and respect is key when an MP is on duty, as laws require that the Military Police maintain the stance as the mediator during times of peace. If at any point an MP violates these codes and protocols corrective action is to be immediately taken to ensure the safety of the public. Above all it is the responsibility of the Military Police to use any and all measures according to the level of seriousness within any known or unknown situation to ensure the continued right of every Anagonian to seek their right to happiness and fulfillment with minimal government and criminal interference.
 
=====Statement of Citizens Rights=====
The Confederate Military Police are both protectors and police for the people. The following is what all MP's must learn when making an arrest. It is simply termed "Citizen Rights".
 
"''You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. I, Officer'' <insert officer name here> ''have placed you under arrest for the following:'' <insert crime list here plus severity>. ''By the [[Constitution of the Confederate States]], you are obligated to have a proper defense should you be brought to court. An attorney will be granted to you free of charge by the government of the Confederate States. If you choose to represent yourself you will be given proper introduction in civil defense also free of charge. Do you understand what I have said?''"
 
=====Standard Operating Vehicles=====
The Military Police can usually be seen patrolling in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMMWV Humvee's], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1117_Armored_Security_Vehicle M1117 Armored Security Vehicles] or the more mundane [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_car Patrol Car] which encompasses a variety of vehicle classes depending on the budget of the county or state. There are no standard restrictions on vehicle classes, however with the M1117 ASV any lethal weaponry is strictly kept in reserve until such a time as a national emergency, such as an invasion of foreign forces.

Introduction

Official Banner of Anagonia

Anagonia, officially the Confederate States of Anagonia, is a large nation that exists within the region of Esvanovia renowned for its rich cultural heritage, diverse landscapes, and vibrant biodiversity which includes non-human sapient life. Situated around the heart of the Anagonian Ocean and on two continential landmasses, Anagonia spans approximately 21,864,400 square kilometers, encompassing a primary territorial claim which surrounds the majestic Magnus Draco Oceanum, also known as the Great Dragon Ocean. The nation's territory is divided between the continents of Minor Kistavich, where the mainland is located, and Major Kistavich, which hosts the rest of the Territories across the Great Dragon Ocean.

Home to seven states—Lexington, Plymouth, Arkansis, Orgath, Liberty, Saratoga, and Imperius—and sixteen territories—West Islands, Wildlands, Ashilosa, Thetanacia, North Teustredia, South Teustredia, Thireatheria, Che Traman, Duderlia, Whiana, Thuaria, Arkleland, Hamotichia, Sarder, Wildlantaria, and the Stranestry Islands—Anagonia boasts a rich tapestry of cultural traditions and historical significance. Each state and territory contributes to the nation's unique identity, with distinct landmarks, festivals, and customs that reflect its heritage. Several non-human semi-sapient wildlife and non-human sapient citizens call these lands and territories home.

With its captivating scenery, fascinating wildlife and citizenry, and vibrant communities, Anagonia as a whole is a land of endless exploration and discovery which draws in visitors from far and wide to experience its wonders firsthand.

History

Etymology

The etymology of "Anagonia" intertwines with the ancient history and cultural tapestry of the land, reflecting the diverse influences that have shaped its meaning over time. At the heart of this etymology lies the intersection of two distinct cultures: the Seurians, akin to the Anglo-Saxons, and the indigenous Anagonians.

Historians, archeologists, and etymologists all agree that the native language of modern Anagonians and their unique name must derive from some experience with the Seurians prior to 6967 BCE.

Around 400 BCE, it was historically recorded both in ancient texts and archeological findings that Ancient Seuria, the ancient homeland of the Seurians on the continent of Major Kistavich, waged a violent war against the Anagonian people and her neighbors under the leadership of the Ancient Seurian known as "Oisean Macmathan". Rikor Hak, the well-known Second Disciple of Melkos, has well preserved journals and written texts on his and his armies experiences in fending off the "Seurian Empire".

It is through these journals, texts, and recorded historical events that etymologists have been able to conclude that Seuria played a heavy role in Anagonian language syntax and development. Seuria, which in modern day exists as a diminished island nation north of nations of Arcadie and Kaskaida and resides in the Northern Ocean, has had long-lasting cultural, linguistic, and other influences on Anagonian culture.

The supposed prefix "Ana-" and suffix "-gonia" further enrich the meaning of "Anagonia." The prefix "Ana-" could potentially denote a sense of primordial or native essence, suggesting an origin deeply rooted in the land itself. Meanwhile, the suffix "-gonia" commonly denotes a land or territory, implying that Anagonia is not just a place but a distinct realm imbued with its own unique character and significance. Together, these linguistic elements encapsulate the essence of Anagonia as a land of ancient heritage, mythical connections, and enduring legacy.

The name "Anagonia" carries echoes of both Seurian and Anagonian heritage. Through meticulous research and lore, it has been deciphered to translate as "Native Dragon Man," offering insight into the ancestral relationship between the Anagonians and the mythical dragons that roamed their land. This interpretation suggests a profound connection between the indigenous people and the awe-inspiring creatures that inhabited their midst. It also supposed that perhaps at one point, the word "Anagonia" could have used by Seurians as an identifier to what an Anagonian could have been before their name.

The term "Dragon Man" within the context of Anagonia evokes images of a society intertwined with the mythos of dragons, perhaps revered as guardians or spiritual beings. It speaks to a time when dragons may have played a significant role in the lives and legends of the Anagonian people, shaping their culture, beliefs, and even their very identity. Thus, "Anagonia" serves as a testament to the enduring bond between Anagonia and the mystical realm of dragons, a bond woven deep into the fabric of Anagonian history and lore, and a bond that persist to Modern Day as Anagonians continue pilgrimages to see their dragon kin.

Geography and Climate

Anagonia, a vast and diverse nation spanning approximately 21,864,400 square kilometers, boasts a varied landscape characterized by rugged mountains, sweeping plains, and coastal regions. With its mainland and capital situated southeast of the heart of the Anagonian Ocean, the nation itself encompasses and surrounds the magnificent Magnus Draco Oceanum, also known as the Great Dragon Ocean, which serves as the centerpiece of the nation's geography via its vast expanse.

Geography

Topographic Map of Anagonia

NOTE POST-GREAT WAR CHANGES:
* More Territory to Southwest of Mainland
* Annexation of Additional Islands
* Annexation of Conquered Kaskaida Territories

Anagonia's mainland is delineated by the continents of Minor Kistavich and Major Kistavich, with the Great Dragon Ocean occupying the central expanse. The northern territories, including Ashilosa, Thetanacia, North Teustredia, South Teustredia, and Thireatheria, are dominated by mountainous terrain that gradually slopes downward into steppes, grasslands, and marshlands as they approach the Great Dragon Ocean. To the west, the Territories of Che Traman, Duderlia, Whiana, Thuaria, Arkleland, Hamotichia, and Sarder feature similar mountainous landscapes that give way to coastal plains along the shores of the Great Dragon Ocean.

In the western reaches of the nation lie the remnants of a sunken continent, now known as the West Islands, serving as a testament to ancient geological upheavals. The Stranestry Islands, located south of the Territory of Sarder in the West Arvolken Sea, offer a contrasting landscape with their gentle slopes and favorable weather conditions. To the east, mainland Anagonia transitions from the independent nation of Sarda to the Sovereign Nation of Nodea Rudav and the Imperial Drekamythian Empire, culminating in the peninsula-like mass of Anagonia proper.

The mainland of Anagonia, which is situated southeast of the Great Dragon Ocean on the continent of Minor Kistavich, is further divided into seven states: Lexington, Plymouth, Orgath, Liberty, Saratoga, Imperius, and Arkansis. The State of Saratoga and the State of Plymouth lay claim to three large islands in the Sea of Independence, providing strategic access to the Great Dragon Ocean.

Pre-Great War Anagonia
(circa United Republic era - 1921 AD & prior)
NOTE THE THREE DISTINCT PROVINCES:
* Anagonia Province
* Drekamythia Province
* Nodea Rudav Province
The United Republic of Anagonia was a more federalized entity that combined the mainland Anagonia into one primary nation. It would eventually fall due to civil war in 1921 AD.

Climate

Anagonia experiences a diverse range of climates due to its expansive geography and varied topography. The northern territories are characterized by a continental climate, with cold winters and warm summers, while the coastal regions benefit from milder temperatures moderated by oceanic influences.

In the mountainous regions, precipitation is abundant, resulting in lush forests and verdant valleys. The western territories receive ample rainfall, fostering fertile soils ideal for agriculture and supporting diverse ecosystems. In contrast, the eastern reaches of Anagonia, bordering the Imperial Drekamythian Empire and the Sovereign Nation of Nodea Rudav, experience somewhat drier conditions, with semi-arid climates prevailing in some areas. However this is diversified within the mainland of Anagonia in its primary states. They experiences a wide verity of temperate-to-dry conditions year-round which support a wide variety of agricultural and biological diversity, with mild winters typically thanks to warmer currents flowing from the north.

The coastal regions, including the Territories of Che Traman, Duderlia, Whiana, Thuaria, Arkleland, Hamotchia, and Sarder, enjoy mostly temperate climates characterized by mild winters and moderate summers. The Stranestry Islands boast favorable weather conditions year-round, making them popular destinations for tourists and travelers seeking relaxation and tranquility.

Overall, Anagonia's climate and geography contribute to its rich biodiversity and cultural diversity, making it a land of endless exploration and discovery.

Elaboration on the Executive Branch Structure

The Executive Branch consists of Departments of the President and Vice-President presiding at the top and overseeing all departments underneath them, within constitutional limits. The Department of the President is primarily responsible with the formation of new departments as well as restructuring of any department within their authority. Since the governance of the 8th President of the Confederate States, President Rudolf Jarod Hart (55 AUR - 60 AUR), the Executive Branch has consisted of two levels of Cabinet Departments.

The first level of Cabinets, the Senior Cabinet, consists of Departments with multiple roles and considered extremely essential to the functioning of proper government and support to and for the Departments of the President and Vice President. The Senior Cabinet generally consists of one singular Department which consists of several roles. Some of the Senior Cabinets also oversee the Junior Cabinet Departments.

The second level of Cabinets, the Junior Cabinet, consists of Departments with singular roles and objectives and thereby are considered not generally essential to the functioning of proper government, with the exception of CASA due to national security importance. Generally the heads of these singular Cabinet Departments report to superiors in the Senior Cabinet, with the primary objective of supporting the Senior Cabinet in the functioning of everyday governance and national security.

The only exception to the rule of governance for both Senior and Junior Cabinets is that of Cabinet Departments headed by military officials. These departments are primarily governed by the authorities of the Articles of the Armed Forces of the Confederacy, and while they operate traditionally under the authority of the President, they may be sequestered by a reigning military official - elected by Joint Assembly of Chiefs and Commanding Officers - in times of national emergency.

Senior Cabinet

The Senior Cabinet is appointed by President with Grand Congressional Approval. Exceptions are Military Cabinets which may be appointed by vote of Joint Military Assembly in times of crisis. Senior Cabinet consists of major essential government positions. Typically, all Senior Cabinet Departments operate with a specific objective, but some Departments also lead Junior Cabinet Departments as overseeing administrators.
